Joining and unsubscribing:
Becoming a member does not require a commitment for a longer period. Membership requires that the person is 18 years of age or older (ask us for Junior Pool Membership) with the written consent of parents, an approved membership application, and the paid membership fee and monthly game fee for the current month. Please bring your ID when you pick up your key & membership card. Upon termination of membership, monthly game fees already invoiced will not be refunded. Membership is therefore valid until the already invoiced period expires. After that, the membership expires.
Alarm system & monitoring:
The alarm system is activated daily from 01.10 to 06.59. You must leave the premises at night in good time. The member who caused the alarm to go off is obliged to reimburse the costs incurred. Doors should always be closed carefully and should never be opened to anyone. All members use their own key when entering the premises. Only own guests (max. 3 / member) are allowed on the premises. The premises have a recording camera surveillance as well as a recording electronic access control, both of which enable remote surveillance.
Bookings & guests:
Pool tables should always be booked through the booking system.
Each member has the opportunity to book a maximum of three (3) guest.
Note! Reservations must always be made for all guests. Guests always stay on the premises under the responsibility of the member. Guest game fees will be charged to the member, according to the price list, once a month.
NOTE! Members of the level "Darts Member" can only make bookings through the booking system for hours outside of opening hours - pls. see the hours we are open to the public at the bottom of this page.

On Fridays and Saturdays during opening hours The Club Billiard strives to guarantee one earmarked pool table for Pool Members (with the exception of larger events when the entire billiard room is reserved). If this so-called Pool Member table happens to be free and all the other pool tables are booked, then also the Pool Member table will be given to other arriving customers. Pool Members can also play for free at other pooltables on Fridays and Saturdays during opening hours until 19:00pm, this only if there is room on these other tables. Meaning that one always have to give room for other arriving customers or pre-reservation that happend to drop in. If a Pool Member wants to play on a pooltable other than the Pool Member table after 19:00pm on Fridays and Saturdays, they should always make a reservation in good time by sending a WhatApp message to the billiard rooms' phone number 0400897199. On those occasions The Pool Members will get that table fee reduced to the student price.
